The afternoon of the next day.
Wu Dalang is here again.
When I walked in, I saw Xing Lizheng sitting there with his face covered.
"Dr. Xing, what's wrong with you?"
When Xing Lizheng saw that Wu Dalang was coming, he became angry and said casually, "It's nothing, it's not a problem."
"Who did you hit? Tell me and I will vent your anger." Wu Dalang said.
Xing Lizheng didn't want to say anything at first, but he couldn't stand Wu Dalang's repeated questioning, so he told him what happened when Zhang Tianhe came here yesterday.
"What? He's such a good Zhang Tianhe, he really doesn't know how to praise him," Wu Dalang said angrily when he heard this, "I asked you to go as a matchmaker for me. That's to give Zhang Tianhe face. You see, he is so poor. I feel that I am great. If he agrees, he will agree. If he disagrees, he will push him down. Why do he hit someone? He is not hitting you, he is clearly hitting me."
"Boss Wu, I really can't handle this. Please take these twenty taels of silver back." Xing Lizheng said.
"He's just saying he won't be toasted and will be given a fine drink. Huh, tell him to wait for me. I don't believe in anything evil if he goes against me. Let's see what happens to him." Wu Dalang was so angry that he puffed up his chest. He rolled up his sleeves and walked away. After walking out a few steps, he came back and took away the twenty taels of silver.
On that night, Zhang Tianhe was just about to rest at home when dozens of officers and soldiers came, all holding guns in their hands, and surrounded their home.
"Quick! Quick! Surround this house for me and take aim. Don't let the bandits escape. Arrest Zhang Tianhe. If anyone dares to resist, punish him on the spot." A commander, riding a horse , commanding with a pistol in his hand.
"Bang!" There was a sound. At this time, someone kicked the door open and several officers and soldiers broke in.
Zhang Tianhe saw that there were too many officers and soldiers, and they all had guns in their hands, so they did not dare to resist.
The officers and soldiers couldn't tell the difference, so they tied up Zhang Tianhe with a rope.
Zhang Tian, his mother and his sister had never seen this formation before. They were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground and were speechless.
"Search for me!" the commander ordered.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I am a good citizen." Zhang Tianhe shouted.
Soon, a crooked pistol and fifty bullets were found from under Zhang Tianhe's pillow.
"Zhang Tianhe, are you a good citizen? How do you explain these things?" the commander asked, "Do any good people have this in their homes? You are clearly a bandit, Beard!"
"I picked this up on the road." Zhang Tianhe took a look and thought it was broken. This was the pistol Tian Xiaoting gave him when he was packing up Jin Xiangyang, and he brought it back. It’s strange to say, how did the government know this, and who reported it?
"Picked it up on the road? Why can't I pick it up? Stop talking nonsense and take it away! You can explain it to the adults when you get to the government office." The commander said.
When they arrived at the county government office, the officers and soldiers put Zhang Tianhe in prison and hung him up by his hands.
"Zhang Tianhe, tell me, where did you get this gun? Who are your other accomplices? Tell the truth." A man in official uniform asked.
"I picked up this gun from the road." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Well, you bandit! I think you are a cheap person. If I don't beat you, you won't confess honestly. Beat you, hard." The man said, "Keep beating him until he confesses."
At this time, someone picked up a whip and whipped Zhang Tianhe hard.
Zhang Tianhe's old injury hadn't healed yet, and this new injury came again, leaving him bruised and bruised.
At Zhang Tianhe's house, his sister hurriedly went to find Xing Lizheng and Fan Yong, and everyone discussed what to do about this matter.
When Xing Lizheng heard this, he understood that this must be the official reported by Wu Dalang, so he told him about Wu Dalang coming to propose marriage yesterday.
When everyone heard this, they also guessed that Wu Dalang most likely did it. Then, Fan Yong said: "Well, we don't know anyone in this county government. Tianhe and I have two kowtows in the county." Brothers, let me go and discuss this with them first, and then we’ll see how this matter is handled.”
Everyone nodded.
Fan Yong came to see Chen Jia and Huo Tingying overnight, and they were shocked when they heard about it.
Huo Tingying said: "Without further delay, call all the brothers. We will rob the prison and fight with the officers and soldiers to rescue Tianhe."
When Chen Jia heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "That's not possible. There are many people in their families, and they all have guns in their hands. If we fight like this, we will die in vain. Let's do it this way. When we open a martial arts gym, we sometimes have to go through some relevant procedures. We know There is a master in the county government, his name is Yuan Liuye, I came to him to find a solution. If Tianhe is really designated as a bandit, his head will be chopped off. "
"Okay, then go and come back quickly, we are waiting for your news here."
Chen Jia quickly came to the county government office and found Mr. Yuan Liu.
When Mr. Yuan Liu heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "This matter is not easy to handle. The key is that the gun and bullets are real evidence. This handle has been caught. You said you are not a bandit, how can you deny it?"
Chen Jiasai gave him a hundred taels of silver and said, "Sixth Master, thank you for your hard work. This is my little thought. You can accept it and buy a bag of tea to drink."
Master Yuan Liu put the silver in his hand, weighed it, and said, "Forget it, for your sake, I'll go and talk to the adults. Whether it's okay or not, I don't dare to say."
"Sixth Master, I can't thank you enough for this." Chen Jia said.
"Then you wait here," Yuan Liuye said, and stood up to find Master Sun Qing.
Mr. Yuan Liu found the county government official and said to him privately: "Sir, I don't think we should fight anymore. If we continue to fight, people will really die. For one thing, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. If you beat him to death, It is also unlucky to kill someone; on the other hand, although a broken gun was found in his house, he insisted that he picked it up and did not admit that he was a bandit. It would be a bit far-fetched to label him a bandit. I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy to sue the superiors for punishing us for the crime of disregarding human lives. Thirdly, this person also has some friends, such as people from the Zhongwu Sect. If someone is really killed, these people are waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, and I am afraid that they will be very harmful to you, Your Excellency. It’s also disadvantageous.”
When Sun Qing heard this, he nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, so what should I do in your opinion?"
"Sir, your brother Wu Bai just feels that he can't swallow this breath. Now he has beaten Zhang Tianhe, and his anger has come out. I think so, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are people everywhere in the government office. Instead of spending the money, why not ask Zhang Tianhe to hand over a thousand taels of silver, tell him where he picked up the gun, and let him put it back there, then forget about it."
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Sun Qing said, "However, the time cannot be extended. Give him a period of ten days. If the money is not collected by the expiration date, he will be punished by having his beard shaved. It can be killed."
